Game play

Each player gets three cards, two facing up and one down. The aim is to get a combination of three equal cards (like 5-5-5), or three cards in a row (like 3-4-5). The 007 cards are wild cards, and can be given any value the player wishes. All players puts chips in the pot, and the round (where the players swap one card at the time) continues until one of the players declare he got a winning combination. Then the other players must either believe him, or call his bluff. If they believe him, and he indeed has a winning combination, he receives one chip. If they believe him, and he is bluffing, he receives three chips. If someone calls his bluff, they bet 1-3 chips, and if he bluffs he must pay them what they have put up. But if they call his bluff, and he is not bluffing, they loose what they have bet, and he get an additional chip from the pot.

The game ends when there are no more chips.

When the movie Dr. No was released in 1962, no one knew what kind of impact it’s main character would make on the world. The 60′s saw a secret spy craze that has never been matched, and James Bond would enter all the channels he could to reach out to his audience.
